Well he is almost 5 months old now & i get to see him for the 1st time in a few wks. I have so many mixed emotions & i'm not sure how or wat to exprect. I have found it hard to mail his christmas gifts to him. Im plannin on havin him open them at my 1st visit. My only fear is that im not goin to want to let him go when i see & hold him.. I havint seen any of my friends baby's either. I dont know if i will start cryin cuz i miss my son soooooo much. I think to myself everyday askin myself if i made the right choice & im told by some family & friends that yes i did to the selfless thing by givin my son the life i couldnt give him that he deserved

well i gat new picts of my baby from his adoptive family. he is lookin more like his big sister now..... i know that his adoptive family had changed his birth name From Ethan Michael to Jason Ethan......... I still find it hard to call Ethan, Jason...... not a day goes by where i dont find myself thinkin about him & how he is doin. i keep thinkin to myslef did i do the right thing by givin him up for adoption even though i already have 2 toddlers.

Yeah i got to give my son his birth name. But yes that adoptive parents can change the babies name to what they want. I knew that the adoptive family that i chose for my son Ethan were thinkin of changing his name. I was ok at first even though i said i was givin him his birth name. And after the papers were signed that it would be ok considerin they were goin to use his 1st name or middle name for his middle name. But when i found out that they did change his name to one that they wanted & kept his first name for his middle name i started ballin my eyes out. But i know that it is their right to change his name even though it hurts. I also got my first set of new picts of my Ethan & i will always call my him my son Ethan. I know i did what was right for Ethan cuz i couldnt take care of him the way he deserved to taken care of & i now & always will consider his adoptive family to b my new extended family.
